Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 138 You Should Be Sneaky and Bully
Chapter 180 You Should Be Sneaky and Bully
A good bird chooses a tree to live in, even the eldest grandson Wuji has to consider standing in line, let alone other people.

Li Shuang has no other skills other than his small mouth and ability to live for nothing. His writing style is not as good as Chu Suiliang and other great scholars, and his literary and martial arts are not as good as Changsun Wuji and others.

If Wei Zheng hadn't passed away, I'm afraid Li Shuang would never have made it to the top.

Originally, he was still worrying about how to get on the huge ship of King Wei, because as the chief officer of Yushitai, he should be proud.

This kind of arrogance is that you must never take the initiative to bow your head, because the official hat on your head will fall off.

Fortunately, Wei Wang Li Tai took the initiative to send someone to the door, which is in line with his inner philosophy.

I can't take the initiative to find you, but you can take the initiative to come to me!
Lang Youqing, Concubine Interested... Well, although the description is a bit ambiguous, the overall meaning is similar.

The people sent by the king of Wei mentioned it cryptically, and Li Shuang couldn't wait to get on Li Tai's pirate ship.

Today's matter is ordered by Wei Wang Li Tai, and it is also what Li Shuang wants to do!
After some people cut off the head and tail, the matter spread to Li Shuang, but it was changed to another version.

It turned out that Li Chengqian took two beautiful maidservants to the street, and then, relying on his identity as the prince, he took the initiative to conflict with the Japanese envoy Katsuragi.

Cut off the beginning and the end, and only look at the middle, Li Chengqian is indeed a little arrogant.

Anyway, after the incident got to Li Shuang, it changed completely.

When the civil and military officials saw Li Shuang standing up suddenly, they felt a little helpless.

This feeling is like being in class, seeing that the class is about to end, and suddenly a guy stood up and said: Teacher, I have a question that I can't do, I hope you can answer it.

As soon as this sentence came out, the teacher was happy, and the person who asked the question was happy, but the person who was eager to finish class was not happy.

Now all civil and military officials are staring at Li Shuang with unkind expressions. If this guy has nothing serious, I believe he will be beaten by the gang next time.

"Let's talk!"

Li Shimin leaned on the dragon chair and waved his hands lazily.

In fact, he also wants to retire early. Recently, he stayed up late to deal with government affairs, and then got up early in the morning to go to court. Now he is so sleepy, he just wants to go back to sleep quickly, so he is not in the mood to listen to other people's nonsense.

However, the doctor Yushi has the right to public opinion in the court, as long as he occupies the word "reason", even the emperor is not allowed to scold and abuse him.

In the past, the censors did not dare to oppose the emperor, but since an emperor gave the censors the right to picket all officials and order the court, they have collectively swelled.

Unfortunately, this emperor is Li Shimin himself.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, with the gradual establishment of feudal bureaucratic politics, corruption in the political field also breeds and develops, which urgently requires the control and supervision of officials.

As a result, supervisory organizations have emerged, the most important of which is the censor system.

The censor system originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties. By the Tang Dynasty, the censor system had developed quite maturely.

The institution to which the Yushi belongs is called Yushitai, and the head of the Yushitai is Yushi Dafu, and the deputy chief is Yushi Zhongcheng.

There are three most important subordinate officials under the Yushitai. According to the official rank from high to low, they are the servant censor, the palace servant censor, and the supervisory censor.

The doctor of imperial history is the third rank, and the fifth rank is the prime minister of the imperial history.

Serving the censor from the sixth grade, he was in charge of "rectifying all officials and pushing prison lawsuits".

The censor in the palace is from the seventh rank, and is in charge of "ceremonies enshrined in the palace and illegal affairs in the capital".

On the eighth grade of the supervisory censor, "distribute the inspection staff, patrol the prefectures and counties, and inspect the prisons."

There are three most important rights of Yushitai, namely the power of impeachment, inspection of prefectures and counties, and judicial supervision.

The most powerful of these is the power of impeachment.

The Zhenguan Code stipulates, "For big things, just wear the crown, Zhu Yi, He Shang, and white gauze alone. For small things, just wear regular clothes."

That is to say, if the impeachment is about a trivial matter, then just wear regular clothes.

But if the impeachment is a major event, they will wear special clothes to show their solemnity.

Once impeached, no matter what level of official he is or how big his official position is, he must "prostrate himself in front of the court and stand in court to await his punishment."

These were all laws promulgated by Li Shimin himself. Even Li Shimin himself was deeply affected by them. He wanted to amend this law in his heart, but he had sworn before that he would not easily amend the law that was effective for the people.

Obviously, it must be a good decree for Dr. Yushi to obstruct the officials of the Tang Dynasty in this way. If it is revised, won't it prove that he is a tyrant?

As for inspecting prefectures and counties, it is to prevent local officials from doing wrong and harming the people.

Judicial supervision includes imprisonment, beheading of prisoners, and inspection of prisons. In addition, cases heard by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment need to be submitted to Yushitai for review.

Anyway, the person being targeted by Yushitai must not die or peel off his skin.

"Your Majesty, your impeachment of Guizhou King Li Chengqian is arrogant and domineering, and he openly offends foreign envoys, which is really detrimental to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as Li Shuang's words fell, everyone's spirits were lifted.

Li Chengqian again?
Especially those of Wei Wang Li Tai's lineage, their eyes shone brightly and their bodies trembled slightly with excitement.

If you talk about this, then you won't be sleepy!
As for Li Shimin, his brows were slightly frowned.

Why is this little brat being impeached again? It's really worrying!
A friendly reminder, don't call your son a bastard, because from a genetic point of view, this is not good for the father.

Of course, not being a biological child is another situation.

"Li Yushi, what's going on?" Li Shimin asked calmly.

Li Shuang cupped his hands and said, "A few days ago, when King Qian was on the streets of Chang'an, he relied on himself as the prince and suddenly attacked Ge Cheng, the prince of the Japanese kingdom. If it hadn't been for the persuasion of Marquis Wu and the common people, he would have done it!"

"Is there really such a thing?"

Li Shimin's face gradually became gloomy. His previous attack on the Western Regions had caused a lot of psychological shadow on other countries.

In the second month after taking over the Western Region, hundreds of neighboring countries, large and small, sent envoys to Chang'an to express their admiration for the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, they hinted that they were very obedient and hoped that Big Brother would not take action.

"If there is Tang Zhaozhao, heaven will serve all nations!"

However, deterrence by force will only make people feel dissatisfied, so Li Shimin adopts a soft policy most of the time.

As long as he is a younger brother sincerely, then Datang will never use force.

The Huairou policy is very useful. In just a few years, the number of countries paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty has increased from more than 100 to more than 300.

Only when you treat others with sincerity can others repay you with sincerity!
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian used his status as a prince to bully the princes of other countries... If you want to bully, you can bully, after all, Datang also often bullies other countries.

But even if it is bullying, there must be a legitimate reason. Just like this time when the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, it used the title of "disrespecting the suzerain country and defeating the rebels", and at the same time, he wrote thousands of words of propaganda. Criticize Goguryeo as a country that does all kinds of evil, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if it is not destroyed.

In addition to looking for reasons, you can also bully secretly, as long as you don't let others know, it's not bullying.

But bullying people in broad daylight like Li Chengqian is a bit too much.
